"AA-AA, too-looonnngg!" jeritannya semakin keras memenuhi ruangan di bawah tanah. "Aaaakkkhhhh..." Suara teriakan itu pun berakhir dengan suara cekikan di leher pria tersebut. Menyakitkan.

Sindi tak sanggup melihatnya. Dia menjerit ketakutan. "AAAAA!" Sindi menutup kedua matanya. Mendengar suara jeritan tersebut, psikopat itu langsung mengehentikan pekerjaannya. Ia lantas bergegas keluar dari ruangan itu membawa sebilah golok untuk mendatangi Sindi yang berada di ruangan sebelah. Sindi pun menjadi semakin gentar. Jantungnya berdegup tak biasa, seakan ingin segera lepas dari dadanya. "Ja-angan bunuh a-aku.. Tolong.. aku mohon.." Sindi berlutut kepada pria itu dan menangis sejadi-jadinya. Ia sungguh begitu takut. Namun pria itu tak bersuara sedikit pun. Ia hanya terpaku diam menatap Sindi tanpa ekspresi. Wajahnya benar-benar misterius dan menakutkan.

Menjadi taruhan oleh orang yang dicintai tentunya akan sangat menyakitkan. Itulah yang dirasakan Yuca. Ia terjebak dalam permainan Naja.
